Blaine ON Irish Affairs.

In a letter to Patrick Ford, chairman OF
the Michael Davitt demonstration, Mr..
Blaine, acknowledging and declining an in
vitation to be present, says:
He [Davitt] can carry with hin the as
surance and evidence that the great mass
OF the American citizens sympathize with
the Irishmen in their struggle to
be relieved from the poverty
which Expresses them, and in their efforts
to secure the rejection and the advan-
tage OF local government with strict OBJ
servance OF every national obligation.
The American friends in sympathy with
Ireland speak only for the sacred rights OF
Justice and humanity. We desire Mr..
Davitt to interpret this sentiment to that
most illustrious statesman OF England
our greeting and our blessing We pray
God that Mr.. G]adstone's life may be
spared till his career shall have been
crowned with the noblest achievement OF
British craftsmanship.

questioned by Mr. John S. McCorkle he con.
fessed that he knew all about it; that e

colored man, fred the barn. Accordingly.
johnson was also arrested by Constable
Mcclure and taken to Staunton by way of
Greenvlle. This was done in order to evade
a masked mob that was on watch down the
Middlebrook road. Intense excitement
prevailed. The prisoners were taken to
Greenyille during the night and by the way
of woods and fields on foot, the constable
being also on foot. Constable Mcclure
deserves great praise for his untring eff
